What's Mine is Yours?
What does the way you handle your finances say about your relationship?
Emily Thomas goes behind closed doors, and delves into the finances of couples around the globe to see how money influences power in personal relationships.
Across the globe the number of women participating in the labour market is rising, but how is this changing power dynamics between couples?
Can pooling resources lead to greater relationship satisfaction, and does this vary depending on the culture you live in? And can a relationship ever be truly equal if those in it have different amounts of money to spend?
This documentary gets up close to one of the main causes of conflict within relationships across the globe – disparity of income.
